You don’t need to be a resident to be protected by US laws. Obviously they’re talking about location and not nationality or residence.

If you select "NO" in any of those questions you get an alert "You are not eligible" so you need to be a citizen and in the US in that time

It's asking “Did you reside in the United States”, which does indeed suggest you need to be a resident (i. e. have a green card I guess?). However, I think it can be more broadly interpreted as “be present in the U.S. at some point”, which also correlates with the class definition: “All Facebook users in the United States between May 24, 2007, and December 22, 2022, inclusive.”

(I am not a lawyer, take this with a grain of salt.)
